Ringtones started off as bad
electronic sounding music that was really just the melody for a popular song.
Some of these ringtones were recognizable and some of them were just funny. It
was fun in the beginning to listen to the small short snippets of the song and
try to identify it. However nows when a phone plays a song, the song is
unmistakable and normally has words to go along with it.

Of course people inevitable got bored with only have songs as ringtones on their
phones and new funny ringtones were created, well funny for some people. Most of
these new funny ringtones are weird little men with scary voices that yell and
swear at you to answer your phone. These funny ringtones can be found in a
variety of accents and with a variety of commands and insults accompanying the
demand that you answer your phone.

Personally I find these amusing though a bit immature, but hey everyone has to
be a little immature every now and then. However I don't think I would ever
actually put on of these tones on my phone. You will mostly find these ringtones
on the phones of teenagers and overgrown children. Or adults have them but more
just to laugh at because hopefully they realize how inappropriate they are to
let ring in public.

I have friends that have these, and they love them for about 2 days, and then
they inevitably become as annoyed with them as everyone else is. I am not sure
what other funny ringtones there are. I am sure there are some that are cutesy
and funny without being crass and offensive, but as most of my friends are
fairly young I have to confess I have yet to hear them.
